The present invention pertains to oral immediate release pharmaceutical compositions suitable for treating patients suffering from pain comprising oxycodone and naloxone or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

The present invention relates to activated neurotensin, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and the uses thereof. The compounds and compositions of the invention may be used, e.g., to reduce body temperature, attenuate or halt seizures, reduce excitotoxicity, promote neuroprotection, reduce neuroinflammation and aberrant axonal sprouting or reduce pain.

The present invention provides antibodies that neutralize flavivirus and methods of use thereof. These antibodies are derived from mAb1 1 which recognizes West Nile virus E protein and is cross-reactive with members of the flavivirus family, including Denge virus. The antibodies of the present invention prevent antibody-dependent enhancement of a viral infection by having a modified Fc region that does not bind to the Fcy receptor. The invented antibody is used to treat flaviviral infections and symptoms thereof.

There are provided compounds of formula I, (I): ##STR00001## wherein R.sup.1 to R.sup.5, X.sup.1, X.sup.2, Ar, L, E, A, A1, G and G.sup.1 have meanings given in the description, which compounds have anti-inflammatory activity (e.g., through inhibition of one or more of members of: the family of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase enzymes; Syk kinase; and members of the Src family of tyrosine kinases) and have use in therapy, including in pharmaceutical combinations, especially in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, including inflammatory diseases of the lung, eye and intestines.

Compounds comprising piperazines, piperidines, spiro-furanopiperidines, and analogs thereof are provided that are modulators, such as positive allosteric modulators, of one or more subclasses of vasopressin receptors. The compounds can be selective modulators of one or more subclasses of vasopressin receptors. Compounds of the invention can be used in the treatment of a condition wherein modulating a vasopressin receptor is medically indicated for treatment of the condition.

Provided herein are compositions comprising substantially non-viable Gram-negative bacterial organisms that have a substantial reduction in endotoxin activity and/or pyrogenicity and methods for treating a cancer using the same. Also provided are methods for treating cancer provided herein, comprising administering to a mammal diagnosed with cancer, substantially non-viable Gram-negative bacteria having a substantial reduction in endotoxin activity and/or pyrogenicity, in an amount sufficient to inhibit growth or metastasis of the cancer. An additional method is provided comprising administering viable or non-viable Gram-negative bacterial organisms that have a genetic defect that results in a substantial loss of lipopolysaccharide within the outer membrane of the bacteria. Further provided are methods for reducing endotoxin activity and/or pyrogenicity in Gram-negative bacteria comprising treatment with polymyxin and glutaraldehyde.

A medicinal agent for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases caused by EP.sub.4 receptor activation is disclosed. A compound having antagonistic activity against the EP.sub.4 receptor is contained as an active ingredient in the medicinal agent. The compound represented by the following general formula (I) as defined in the specification, a salt, an N-oxide, or a solvate thereof, or a prodrug of these is useful as a medicinal component having antagonistic activity against the EP.sub.4 receptor for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases caused by EP.sub.4 receptor activation.
